New
I’m starting a new photo project called “What We Eat.” It will be a series of photos dealing with the steps of getting food from the farmers to the plate or the people who make the food to those who eat it. I have made a springboard for the project with all of the Farmers’ Market and restaurant shots I have taken lately, but it was my morning visit to the local eateries that has been in business for 50 years that really did it for me. I loved how people of all walks in life knew each other from what they ordered on the menu or the conversations shared at the luncheon counter. I have about 12 photos already selected so far, and I know of other places that I would definitely want to shot. One that comes to mind is a Christian-based soul food restaurant that is owned by a local church. I also have another market to visit soon, and I have a trip to D.C. to take in August that will be a sure bet of sources. The photo from Sunday’s entry will be a part of the series as well.
